8/10 Dunn and Mercker's Reds (Milton) @ Cubs (Hill) 1:20 CSN

[Somedaysoon]

How embarrassing. The kid should be sent down as he is clearly not ready for the bigs yet. To quote Santo- "Geez!"

[ToupeeOnFire]

Fire everybody.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hill can not be the #5 starter for long. His last 2 outings haven't helped an incredibly overused bullpen. I'd like to see him get some more work in at Iowa..

[YearofDaCubs]

I doubt that is the case. Corey is not a jerk and he certainly isn't a cheater or quiter. I do think he will be traded in the off-season. That just my opinion.

That's a good point... can we expect a lot of changes this off season? or is hendry gonna play the collapse to an overused bench, and injured starters? also, what kind of free agents are lined up for the off season? or is it too early to tell?

Quite a few people on that list i would like

Furcal

BJ Ryan

Giles

AJ Burnett

 

As role players either Tino, Millar or Olerud

Hidalgo probably wont get great offers, wouldnt mind him as a 4th of with a chance to win the job if he was affordable.

SIgn all four.

[Derwood]

At least they are getting creative with how they are giving up runs now.

[eburgcub]

Got to find new ways lose everyday. You have to mix it up a little.

[YearofDaCubs]

Fire everybody.

That's what I'm sayin.

[KatJ]

Not your fault kid. Dusty did this. You don't have the stuff yet, and he's letting you and everyone else know the hard way. Screw the trial by fire stuff - take your shower, then call your agent and have him do the bawling out for you and demand a trip to Iowa for the rest of the season.

[10man]

Boy that didn't take long.

[E.J.]

Freel with a single off of Wuertz. 5-1 Reds. 8 game losing streak. Make it twelve after the Cards leave this weekend.

[Scott G. F.]

Game isn't over yet.

 

It always is darker before the light!!

[YearofDaCubs]

If I was a manager I know for certain I would breaking things right now. Our play lately is inexcusable.

[Chris]

When the curve is on it's on, when it's off.....

[OldHappyCubFan]

Baker HAS to get fired. I don't get how he can be manager any longer.

[UMFan83]

This is fun :):)

[dalgreen]

Yeah, we've talked about firing Baker, Hendry, players, but Rothschild hasn't done a great job the last two years. How can you have virtually the whole bullpen unable to throw strikes? Then when you bring people up they can't throw strikes, either?

[katway]

With this performance, any Hill plus extras for Dunn trade this offseason can be kissed goodbye.

 

Once agin, another player has successfully devalued himself in a Cub uniform.

[YearofDaCubs]

Game isn't over yet.

 

It always is darker before the light!!

We're down by 4 with one out. It's over.

Scott, I like you, but if you keep talking like this, I'm gonna puke and then I'm gonna clobber you. :-)

[OldHappyCubFan]

The Cards are gonna come with their shovels, and throw dirt on the Cubs this weekend.

[Somedaysoon]

5-1 and still no one out. As for the F/A list, I'd like the Cubs to make a play for AJB from Florida and Wagner from Philadelphia. I can't believe we have fallen this far. Surely Hendry is running out of excuses for himself and Baker.

 

I won't spend a dime on this team right now.

[10man]

23% of Freel's RBI's this year have come in today's game.

[Bull]

Freel with a single off of Wuertz. 5-1 Reds. 8 game losing streak. Make it twelve after the Cards leave this weekend.

 

'bout time. Don't the reds know that you can't score runs by walking.

Yup.

Right on dalgreen, Rothschild is as responsible IMO.
